Unveiling the Shocking Truth: Elden Ring's Farming Trick Unleashes a Wave of Player Abuses
New Elden Ring stats indicate the prevalence of a late-game farming trick utilized by numerous players to acquire runes, shedding light on the extent of its usage
Bandai Namco recently unveiled the top five foes eliminated by players in Elden Ring, highlighting the exploitation of the renowned rune-farming hotspot, Mohgwyn Palace. This highly sought-after location provides abundant late-game experience and is indispensable for Elden Ring players seeking to swiftly gather runes.
It is widely known that Elden Ring was an enormous success. Earlier reports indicate that it sold over 20 million copies within a year, earning it the accolade of being one of the finest games of 2022 according to both critics and players. Throughout this time, millions ventured into the Lands Between, annihilating an absurd number of adversaries. Luckily, the publisher diligently recorded this data, granting gamers an exclusive glimpse into the gameplay of FromSoftware's latest masterpiece.
New information released by Bandai Namco, the publisher of Elden Ring, has unveiled that gamers have collectively slain a staggering 197 billion adversaries thus far. To put this mind-boggling figure into perspective, it equates to approximately 24 times the current population of Earth. The data further pinpoints the top 5 most vanquished foes in the game. Leading the list is the notorious Albinauric (Club) with a staggering death count of 9.4 billion, closely followed by the hapless Putrid Corpse (Magic) who suffered 8.9 billion massacres. The Exiled Soldier (Crossbow), Albinauric (Curved Sword), and Demi-Human (Curved Sword, Short) all met their demise at alarming frequencies of 4 billion, 3.4 billion, and 3 billion times respectively. Remarkably, these formidable foes make up a significant 15% of the total enemy casualties in the game. Seasoned Elden Ring players will likely recognize the Mohgwyn Palace as the primary haunt for encountering most of these adversaries, with the Albinaurics serving as relatively easy prey in this location.
Mohgwyn Palace emerges as the ultimate farming location in Elden Ring, with players exploiting it to an absurd extent. A widely embraced farming trick in the Elden Ring community involved teleporting to Mohgwyn Palace early in the game, rushing to the Site of Grace, and establishing an early and permanent presence in the area.
Bandai Namco's recent data also reveals intriguing statistics. As of now, Elden Ring players have engaged in a staggering 82 million battles in the Colosseum and undergone 38.6 million rebirths. Furthermore, an impressive 11.7 million players have managed to acquire the Dark Moon Greatsword, one of the game's most formidable items. Undoubtedly, these figures will continue to surge as more players delve into Elden Ring following the release of the upcoming expansion.
Elden Ring is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
